Simeon Hatlung learns to bake matzah with Yafa Phaltual and Rukha Neihsiel

We conclude our updates from
Shavei Israel's six-week visit to the Bnei Menashe with this report from Simeon Hatlang, one of two Shavei "Fellows" to the Bnei Menashe in Myanmar (Burma) who crossed the border - in some caes entirely on foot - to join the classes in India.
Simeon's story also provides details on the intensive Hebrew and Judaism learning program that Shavei Israel has provided the Bnei Menashe during January and February.
Simeon's studies covered all of the major Jewish holidays. He was taught how to build a succah, as well as the laws pertaining to Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Chanukah. Perhaps most important - with the Passover holiday coming up in just a few weeks - he learned how to make kosher matzah!
